Obama’s State Department is giving away seven strategic,
resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime
in the Kremlin. … The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and
Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of
oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior
estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a
maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly,
our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan
islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be
reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary
Clinton.
The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska
was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public
given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska
Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition – but the State
Department doesn’t seem to care.
